Graph Pattern Matching: From Intractable to Polynomial Time
Summary: Recasts graph pattern matching from NP-complete subgraph isomorphism to bounded simulation, where edges represent bounded-hop connectivity. Delivers cubic-time matching and update algorithms (with DAG guarantees), enabling scalable community discovery. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
